The Big Sick

A Pakistani comedian begins dating an American student, but a clash of cultures and a sudden illness leads to mounting tensions between their two families. A heartfelt romantic comedy with lovable characters and plenty of laughs.

'The Big Sick finds plots by losing them. That's its genius. One moment we are in an ethnic satire; the next a romcom; the next a hospital comedy-drama. But that's existence.' ★★★★★ Nigel Andrews, Financial Times
